Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.

Do good anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable

Be frank and honest anyway.

People favor underdogs but will follow only top dogs.

Fight for some underdogs anyway.

People may need help, but may attack you if you help them.

Help people anyway.

What you spend your years building may be destroyed overnight.

Build away.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.

Give the world the best you have anyway.—Author Unknown

Do You Remember

Do you remember way last fall

When we were only this tall

Now look at us

We're way up here

And my we've learned a lot this year

In fact they think we're really great

That's why we get to graduate.--Author Unknown

Dream Big

If there were ever a time to dare,

To make a difference

To embark on something worth doing

It is now.

Not for any grand cause, necessarily –

But for something that tugs at your hear

Something that is worth your aspiration

Something that is your dream.

You owe it to yourself

To make your days count.

Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch.

Dream big.

Know, though,

That things worth doing

Seldom come easy,

There will be times when you want to

Turn around

Pack it up and call it quits

Those times tell you

That you are pushing yourself

And that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

Persist.

Because with an idea,

Determination and the right tools,

You can do great things.

Let your instincts, your intellect

And let your heart guide you.

Trust.

Believe in the incredible power

Of the human mind

Of doing something that makes a difference

Of working hard

Of laughing and hoping

Of lasting friends

Of all the things that will cross your path

Next year

The start of something new

Brings the hope of something great.

Anything is possible

There is only one you

And you will pass this way but once.

Do it right.—Author Unknown

God Made Teachers

God understood our thirst for

Knowledge, and our need to be led

By someone wiser;

He needed a heart of compassion,

Of encouragement, and patience;

Someone who would accept

The challenge regardless of the

Opposition;

Someone who could see potential

And believe in the best in others . . .

So He made Teachers.—Author Unknown

Graduation Wishes

For every ending

there's a new beginning; for every memory,

there's a dream ahead. The happy times you've had so far,

The people you have met Will always be a part of life

You'll never quite forget... But ever better, brighter days

Are waiting just for you, So dream your dreams...

and start in now To make them all come true!—Author Unknown

The Future Lies Before You

The future lies before you

Like a field of driven snow,

Be careful how you tread it,

For every step will show.—Author Unknown

I Hope

I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles,

to the highest of your hopes,

to the windows of your opportunities,

and to the most special places your heart has ever known.—Author Unknown

The "anyway" poem you have posted is a quote by Mother Theresa. It's beautiful regardless, but I thought I'd give Mother Theresa her credit where credit is due.
